Solution

Your input: convert $$$\frac{1500}{22}$$$ into a decimal.

Write the problem in the special format:

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccc}\phantom{6}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{1}\end{array}&\\22&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccc}1&5&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{llll}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 1

How many $$$22$$$'s are in $$$1$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

Write down $$$0$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$1-22 \cdot 0 = 1 - 0= 1$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccccc}\color{Brown}{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{1}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{22}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccccc}\color{Brown}{1}& 5 \downarrow&0&0&.&0&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&5&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 2

How many $$$22$$$'s are in $$$15$$$?

The answer is $$$0$$$.

Write down $$$0$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$15-22 \cdot 0 = 15 - 0= 15$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccccc}0&\color{DarkMagenta}{0}&\phantom{6}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{1}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{22}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccccc}1&5& 0 \downarrow&0&.&0&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{DarkMagenta}{1}&\color{DarkMagenta}{5}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&5&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 3

How many $$$22$$$'s are in $$$150$$$?

The answer is $$$6$$$.

Write down $$$6$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$150-22 \cdot 6 = 150 - 132= 18$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccccc}0&0&\color{DarkBlue}{6}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{1}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{22}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccccc}1&5&0& 0 \downarrow&.&0&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&5&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}\color{DarkBlue}{1}&\color{DarkBlue}{5}&\color{DarkBlue}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}1&3&2&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&1&8&0&\phantom{.}\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 4

How many $$$22$$$'s are in $$$180$$$?

The answer is $$$8$$$.

Write down $$$8$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$180-22 \cdot 8 = 180 - 176= 4$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccccc}0&0&6&\color{Purple}{8}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{1}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{22}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccccc}1&5&0&0&.& 0 \downarrow&0&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&5&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&5&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}1&3&2&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&\color{Purple}{1}&\color{Purple}{8}&\color{Purple}{0}&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&1&7&6&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&4&\phantom{.}&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 5

How many $$$22$$$'s are in $$$40$$$?

The answer is $$$1$$$.

Write down $$$1$$$ in the upper part of the table.

Now, $$$40-22 \cdot 1 = 40 - 22= 18$$$.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

$$$\require{enclose}\begin{array}{rlc}&\phantom{-\enclose{longdiv}{}}\begin{array}{cccccccccc}0&0&6&8&.&\color{DarkCyan}{1}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{1}&\phantom{8}&\phantom{1}\end{array}&\\\color{Magenta}{22}&\phantom{-}\enclose{longdiv}{\begin{array}{cccccccccc}1&5&0&0&.&0& 0 \downarrow&0&0&0\end{array}}&\\&\begin{array}{lllllllll}-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&5&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&0&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}1&5&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}1&3&2&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&1&8&0&\phantom{.}\\-&\phantom{5}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&1&7&6&\phantom{.}\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&\color{DarkCyan}{4}&\phantom{.}&\color{DarkCyan}{0}\\&&-&\phantom{0}&\phantom{.}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}&\phantom{0}\\\phantom{lll}&&&2&\phantom{.}&2\\\hline\phantom{lll}&&&1&\phantom{.}&8&0\end{array}&\begin{array}{c}\end{array}\end{array}$$$

Step 6

As can be seen, the digits are repeating with some period, therefore it is a repeating (or recurring) decimal: $$$\frac{1500}{22}=68.1 \overline{81}$$$

Answer: $$$\frac{1500}{22}=68.1\overline{81}$$$
